USDA Central States Print Butter 07/24 15:40
AMS_1089 MARS
Butter - Central U.S.
Released on July 24, 2024
Demand for butter is steady to lighter in the Central region this week, and
some contacts suggest current butter prices may be contributing to lackluster
spot interest. On the CME, butter prices have declined by 4 cents since last
Wednesday. Cream has tightened somewhat compared to last week, and cream
multiples are pushing upwards slightly in the region. However, contacts report
volumes are more available than they typically are this time of year. Some
butter makers are, reportedly, sourcing loads of cream from the West region.
Butter makers are actively churning, though plant managers say production
schedules remain below capacity. Spot loads of salted butter are available but
are not excessive in the Central region.
